Re: B&W 170 Art

My bet is that was originally S/N 18002 and modified for an A model demonstrator/test bed. It seems silly to think they’d trash the (likely) more conformant of the prototypes for no reason. The last 2 1948 170 serial numbers 18728 and 18729 were also corporate airplanes. EDIT: Removed "Cessna&...

Re: Dynamic Prop Balancing

A 170 that I worked on had been "dynamic balanced" and still vibrated because the prop wasn't in the correct position. After removing all the washers and correcting the prop clocking, it didn't vibrate.

Re: 75th Reunion Celebration group parking at Airventure 202

Hope everyone had a great time. Special thanks to Dave FInamore, Joe Smothers, Karl Towle, the VAA Volunteers, and everyone that attended. It is always good to see old and new friends. The latest report was 125 C-170s in the group parking and several others on the field. Looks like 2 170s won awards...

Re: 75th Reunion Celebration group parking at Airventure 202

From Alyssa Cobb Sr. Media Director at AOPA We will be filming Fly with AOPA 7/26 evening (Wednesday) at 6 pm at my Cessna 170. We'd like to invite all the 170 owners to come over to my airplane to help kick off the show. I wondered if you might be able to spread the word? Any of the 170 owners who ...

Re: 75th Reunion Celebration group parking at Airventure 202

The Vintage VAA area starts at the Vintage Red Barn. The VAA Flghtline crew covers South of there. Landing on 36 which is typical and going to the North end of 36 can put you in the EAA Flightline crew area. This will depend on which dot you are instructed to land. They will recognize the VAC sign b...

Re: Brake Lines part

You can call Spruce, they have a hose shop and should be able to cross reference the number.

Re: 75th Reunion Celebration group parking at Airventure 202

I am confused why some people got an email from the association and I didn't. I did register by emailing that I would be attending. Hopefully no one else was missed. Has any other information about the parking at Airventure been released yet? I think I'll just send Dave another email to make sure I...

Re: 75th Reunion Celebration group parking at Airventure 202

Should be here, unless you have an in, this will likely be the best spot you could ask for (we do have an in Thanks Dan and others from the EAA)
Jim:
It is on the other side of Waupun Rd (the diagonal) closer to Whittman Rd. It is a great location.
See you there,
Dan

Re: 75th Reunion Celebration group parking at Airventure 202

Thks Dan, for the info on the shirts. I like the graphics but wish the graphics were on the back of the shirt with maybe an EAA logo on the front.
Jim:
Luckily for everyone, I had very little to do with the designs! :lol:
See you there,
